In a few weeks I’m probably going to have all my medals from the past year engraved. If I didn’t plan on keeping them, though, I might donate them to Medals4Mettle:
Medals4Mettle (M4M) is a non-profit organization founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 2005. Its mission is to celebrate and reward the individual and collective courage of all human beings by facilitating the gifting of marathon finisher’s medals from marathoners to people who have demonstrated similar mettle, or courage. The recipients can be any age and might have exhibited such mettle by dealing with disease, handicaps or any similar challenge.
What a great idea! You can contact the chapter nearest you to get involved.
